| Abstract | ||
| background: Anorectal abscesses are a common surgical problem, and the most common disease of the anorectum. Objectives: to identify the microorganisms commonly causing the anorectal abscess and the drugs of chioce for treating these infections. Materials and Methods: the patients who were admitted in Hilla Teaching General Hospital during a period of one year from December 2001 to December 2002 were prospectively studied. The aspirated pus was cultivated aerobically and the isolated microorganisms were tested for their sensitivity to commonly prescribed antibiotics. Results: fifty two patients 42 males and 10 females were studied. The most frequently isolated micro-organisms were Proteus vulgaris (30.76%), Esch.Coli (13.46%) and Klbesiella spp. (9.61%). The sensitivity pattern was that the cephalosporin's and aminoglycosides (Gentamycin) were the most potent antibacterial against Proteus and Staph aureus. Conclusion: Anorectal abscesses are most commonly caused by Proteus vulgaris and Staph aureus which mainly respond to cephalexin and gentamycin. | ||
